Strathclyde ranks number 46 in league tables

Strathclyde has ranked 46th in the UK in The Times and Sunday Times University League Tables 2016.

This puts the university at seventh in Scotland.

The university’s score for student satisfaction and experience increased from last year’s rankings by nine places. 86% of students are happy with student life at Strathclyde.

Other areas where Strathclyde scored highly were the rate of first-class and 2:1 degrees achieved by students, which has a rate of 78%, and in sports – where the university ranks 42nd.

Strathclyde is also in the top 25 for research submissions, with a high number of submissions and nearly 80% of research since 2008 has been rated world-leading or internationally excellent

Gary Paterson, President of University of Strathclyde’s Student Association said: “We are delighted that Strathclyde continues to rise in satisfaction rankings, recognising the great quality education and student experience on campus.”

“We have noted areas for development in other satisfaction surveys around assessment and feedback, which – when resolved – will improve education and experiences for students on campus. We are looking forward to working with the university on new learning, teaching, sports, support services, and student union builds on campus which will meet students’ needs and expectations, and continue to see Strathclyde as a great place for study and student life.”

Strathclyde ranks in the top ten in a variety of subject areas, including Education, Psychology and Accounting and Finance.

It is particularly noted by The Times that they rank Strathclyde within the top 40 business schools in Europe, which is helped by becoming a research partner of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The latter has been given the award of the number one university in the world.
